XML is an extensible object description language and XSD is not an XML derivative, but an implementation of the XML extensibility as a replacement for DTD. It is finally nothing else than an XML file following the validation schema of itself (http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema). Being XML you can load it into an XML field in PostgreSQL just like any other XML document (e.g. xml, wsdl, xslt, soap, etc.).

Hi everybody,
I need to import some DB schemas which are defined in .XSD (a XML derivative) format.
I've googled about this but have found no satisfactory answer. Perhaps I just don't know what exactly to ask Google.
So please:
- What tool can I use in order to import .XSD schema definitions into Postgresql 9.4.5?
- If there is no tool, can you please direct me to a document at least hinting at how to import a .XSD schema into a DB?
Thanks and happy new year to all.
So, you are basically looking for an XSD to SQL converter, potentially with knowledge of PostgreSQL implementation specifics. No clue - though like Adrian said the source of the XSD file would ideally have meaningful knowledge of how to actually use it.
